" I think" says a careful observer
there is no better opportunity for a
man to make money than to 90 into
the bottoms Of Southern Iowa and
start hog ranch. With small capi
tai he could secure a sufficient number
to start with, and, if he could support
himself for two years l think at the
end of ten he would be comparatively
wealthy. The proper location of his
ranch would be the main thing. It
should be at the edge of some timber.
where there would be plenty of rotten
wood and a stream of water. He
would also require plenty of room for
his hogs to root in and roam around.
Cholera, the great hog destroyer, seems
to be more scarce in Iowa than any,
where else, consequently success
would be almost certain. Plenty of
charcoal is indispensable to the success
full raising of hogs. 1t keeps them
healthy, and the avidity with which
they devour it seems to indicate that
it is indispensable to their welfare"

The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. case at
the Southern Hotel in st. Louis a cou-
pie of years ago must be still fresh in
the memory of all. Both were Young
Englishmen who came to this country
together. Preller was business man
a drummer, think, and Brooks was
impecuniOus. They met in st. Louis
and finally Brooks disappeared. A
few days thereafter body was found
dismembered in trunk in his room.
Then it was ascertained that several
patrons of the house had heard means
and low grOans issuing from a week or
so before. They thought that thew
came from some one who was sick and
paid no further attention to them.
Brooks was traced to San Francisco
and from there to New South Wales.
where he was apprehended and brought
back to this country. He was tried in
st, Louis, found guilty of murder and
sentenced to be hung. He is now un-
der reprieve, but there is little doubt
that the sentence of death viii DE eA-
ecuted on him. His defense was that
he was performing surgical operation
on Preller and had given him an anes-
thetic, from the effects of whicn he died.
He cut the body up and packed it into
the trunk, because, being a stranger,
he feared his version of the cause of
death would net be believed. l don't
think many do believe it.

That Choir.
F. F. c.

Mary Dear The world is changing,
Changing fast since we were young:
Then we heard the tune of Martyr
And the grand Old Hundred sung.
Then the whole big congregation
Sang the hymn; while parson led;
And the parson was a singer
So the good old deacon said.
When the hymn was read this morning.
Not voice, save me, was heard;
Whistling DER the congregation
Like trained Canary bird.
Oh wish you could have seen her;
How she dragged the tune along!
Now little weak. and faint like;
Then she was tremendous strong.
Why, she tossed her head and bonnet,
Till l started in alarm!
For feared that so much labor
Might result in personal harm.
Not an amen from the corner,
Not a shout or praise the Lord;
In that awful strain of singin'
Not glory was there heard.
Deacon Jones, sat in the corner
With his head upon his hand:
As the singer they call Alto
Did her part on GLORY Land"
Then the Base took up the singin';
And the Tenor praised the Lord;
In the mOnstress strain of screaking
That body ever heard.
Then they all joined in the chorus,
And the organ beloved loud,
And the leader with his long stick,
Kept beaten at the crowd.
When the meetin' wns dismissin'
inquired what they sung.
And wondered when they told me,
Praise The Lord Oh every Tongue"
When | reach the Golden City,
And the song is rising higher,
am hoping since this morning
That wen sing without the choir.

The celebrated killing of Parkman
by DR.. Webster, in Boston, was in GER
tain of features analogous to the mur-
der by Colt Dr. Webster was in debt
to Parkman, who called on him to dun
him in his rooms at Harvard Medical
College, where he was a professor.
They quarreled over the matter, and
Webster killed him. To avoid being
detected he cut up the body into small
portions and these he burned in the
CRATE which warmed his room. He
thought he had destroyed every vestige
of the remains, but Parkman being
missed and traced to Webster's apart
ments. an investigation resulted in find
ing in the ashes one of the dead mans
teeth which had been operated on by a
dentist. On this slender thread the
detectives took hold of the case. and
soon, by wholly circumstantial evidence
fixed the crime on Pr. Webster. The
high SOCIAL standing of the Doctor and
his victim made the case celebrated
one. The trial was one of the most in
teresting known to the annals of crime.

Colt was brother of the inventor of
the Colt eN0lver aud was in business
in New York. He was indebted to n
man and had not the means to pay
him. One day his creditor called and
they had an alteration in Colts office.
which was on the second floor. 1t
ended by the creditor being killed.
Colt cut the body up into small ror-
tiOns. packed them into box and
directed it to fictitious address in
Europe. He then hired a truckman
and had him ship it under another
false name on board ship bouGd, if
remember Alright, for HaYre, The box
was slowed in the lower hold of the
vessel and was soon covered by tons
and tons of other freight. The vessel
was week or more completing her
load when just ready sail sprang leak.
In order to get at it was necessary to
unload her. In doing so the stevedores
were nearly overcome by n terrible
stencil. At length they reached the
box from which it emanated. 1t was
opened, when a ghastly sight presented
itself. An investigation ensued. the
truckman who had hauled the box to
the ship came forward, told where and
from whom he had got it, and Colt was
arrested and tried for murder. The
evidence against him was wholly cir
cumstantial, neverthe less he was con-
victed and hung for the crime. The
execution of the laws mandate took
place in the morning, and just as it did
the steeple of old City Hall, in New
York, took fire and there was great
time putting out the flames. It was
charged by some that Colt, who had
very rich and influential friends, was
permitted to escape in the confusion,
and that body procured for the pur-
pose from a hospital was hung in his
place. OF course there was no
foundation for this absurd story, vet,
to this day, it is current in certain
quarters of Gotham, and every now
and again some one AYERS that he has
seen Colt in Texas or somewhere else.
